Catch V2.0: Oreo.

Homemade Springer; 6" Brass barrel
Trigger: Carbon's
Range: At least 50'
Spec: Holster, paintjob

Think I'm gunna repaint her a little less liberally. Too much black. But for my first fade job, I'd say it's not bad.

I have to say, that has got to be the simplest homemade pistol I have every seen that I can see potential in. I can see a somewhat larger plunger tube (not too much bigger) to allow a bigger plunger and scout type spring set-up inside. Very nice.

Allmost working





Ideas from Goggle marks, pvc ballistics. Inspiration from the Hitman games, hence the case

[blister]

My first homemade:





It was based on the cutlass on the homemade section of NH and has a coupler for sch80 pvc which has 17/32 brass inside. It also has a coupler for my acrylic barrels inside. The pump is from one of my old broken blastfires and gets about 150' in 10 pumps.

I just finished my version of Carbon's Big SNAP. I didn't change much, all I did was use 3/8 aluminum for the plunger rod, 3/4 PVC for the handle, a strip of aluminum for the trigger, and I added some foam on the inside to deaden the sound of the plunger head hitting the reducing brushing. I also used PETG for the barrel instead of brass.

As for ranges, I haven't been able to test it with darts. I still have to widen the barrel with my drill bit so all I've been doing is shooting rubber balls. The balls however fire extremely fast, traveling 35' with only a 2" drop.

Very nice, i'm finishing my version of the snap soon also.

On the back of the gun though, the end cap, it looks like theres a crack. Was this intentional or did it snap?

[Shadow 92]

Thank you.
Oh, that. I actually dremeled sections of the endcap off so I could mount the handle back further. I will also do that to my next Big SNAP, which will feature pump action cocking.

Very nice for a first homemade, I like it, keep on with the good work blister.

[Dart Attack]

I got a valve from an old squirt gun and put a 3/4" PVC coupler with an end cap straight on. Then I got the pump (which also came from an old squirt gun) and put it into the end cap. With 3 pumps I can achieve at2k ranges.

Some pictures,

[nerfer909]

Pretty cool.

[Shadow 92]

I redid my Big SNAP's barrel because I got tired of just shooting rubber balls and I wanted to range test the thing with stefans. To do this, took off the coupler and reducing brushing from my pump action Big SNAP and put it on my working Big SNAP. I had to buy another reducing brushing for my pump action because it was too small so I decided to make good use of it.

Here it is with a ported 12" barrel. It fires about 75'.





And here it is with a ported 16" barrel. With it I can fire about 85-90'.





The porting is kind of useless with the SNAPs because the air isn't moving fast enough for it to effectively silence the gun since there's a huge, metal plunger head smacking the front of the gun every time I fire. The barrels were originally intended for my Titan which is somewhat quieter with the barrels.

Here is my newly finished nerf rifle.


And here is the clothspin trigger.


The pictures are really bad since I've misplaced my proper camera.

Oh, SNAP!



FYI, I'm cleaning up this post thread. I'm eliminating comments and dead picture links. If you lose posts on your count, tough.

Fark man, taken out any low flying aircraft with that thing?

No homemades for a month? Sheesh.

Well anyways, here's my latest. I've named it Hitchcock. Don't ask why... because I'm not sure I know.


Obviously still have to paint the sleigh and trigger but otherwise I'd say it's not bad. Breach opens when you cock it, 80-ish feet. Here's some more info if you really want.

[bored kid93]

Here's my first homemade.
No trigger.
No springs.
No cocking handle.
No fire control mechanism.
No gimmicks.
Range is around 110 feet.

[koolaidman43]

well, im not finished, nor am i even working on it yet, im still working of the design. its kinda like a simpler version of the GNS(or whatever its called)
here's a pic of it basicaly.

the frame is 1" PVC pipe, and the plunger is 1/2" PVC pipe. i have a clothespin trigger for the... well, trigger, and i'm using boltsniper's handle design.

i just need to find out where i could get a good/affordable spring. affordable meaning i can buy alot and still have plenty of money left.

if you have any ideas on how to improve it (without it being too complicated), sugjustions are welcome.

[Flaming Hilt]

...maybe a better title for this thread would be "finished homemades." I dunno. Not to berate you, but I do open this thread expected to see finished work. If it's still in development, post it elsewhere please. : o)

...that just looks like your basic homemade springer. Any hardware store should sell springs as cheap as they come. Just go look. ; o)

The Topic


The Reaper

It's a pump/thumb actuated air powered gun I built with a magazine capacity of 42+1 in the chamber. It's max effective range is 400 feet, and havent tested it farther (max range may be more) that is only 133 meters which isn't too far when you really think about it. The regulator controls the amount of shots you get per charge, it can be from 1 at high power to 5 at low (indoor) power. I also have ordered a C02 bike pump for instant pressurization.

Loading and Dry firing of 7 shells

lol reaper, do you play resistance fall of man
